About Calvi Sainte-Catherine Airport
Calvi Sainte-Catherine Airport is the main gateway to Calvi and the Balagne region on Corsica's northwest coast. Originally built as a US Air Force airfield in 1945, it was later developed into a civil airport and now serves year-round and seasonal domestic and international flights.
Located about 6 km southeast of central Calvi, the airport operates from a single passenger terminal that combines arrivals and departures at ground level. Check-in desks, baggage claim, a cafe-bar, a press shop and a tourism information point sit within a compact, easy-to-navigate layout.
Taxis, private transfers and car rental are the main onward options, as there is no public transport from the terminal to the town centre. The drive to Calvi takes around 15 to 20 minutes in normal traffic, with Ile-Rousse and other Balagne villages reachable further along the coast.
The airport has grown through terminal extensions in 1995 and 2005 and modernisation of business and general aviation facilities, supporting the island's tourism-driven air traffic and providing a convenient entry point for visitors to Calvi and northwest Corsica.
